    Clint Eastwood did it well in The Good The Bad and the Ugly. He simply disarmed one of the combatants beforehand by emptying his gun. Works every time!

    AMONG is the correct word to use when there are three or more of anything; BETWEEN denotes TWO of anything!! Doesn’t anyone use English anymore?

    It’s not the only one-syllable state. What about Tex, Lou, Miss, Al, and George?

    Three is the maximum number that can compete in a duel, or “truel,” because a man only had two gloves to slap someone with.

    The only way I can see that working equitably is if all three had a gun in each hand that they could aim simultaneously…

    There was the one in Harry Potter, but Rowling does not use the word. As has already been remarked, “truel” is used mainly by mathematicians in theoretical cases.
